Anti Climax Of Hyped Series?
Monday, February 8, 2010
It was said to be battle of titans. No 1 Indian Team V/s No 2 South African team fighting for supremacy. But in 3 days it seems to be total anti climax and debate of whether India Deserves to be No1 has began once again.
In perfect pitch southafrican made most of modest Indian attack. Amla fired joining in form kallis to make huge total. India needed to play to its strength in batting but barring shewag and badrinath , Indian batsman failed to withstand the sheer pace of steyn who took 7 wickets. In last tour the same steyn during last tour had humilated India by bundling out India for 76 only.
The same steyn fired again and Indian batting looked ordinary against quality pace bowling. Today India missed services of dravid and laxman dearly.
In second innings India are placed at 66/2 and need a mircale to survive. They have example of laxman-dravid saga to draw inspiration but surviving two days with mere 8 wickets is tough thing to ask for.
Let see how tomorrow unfolds. Who knows there is another laxman-dravid story in making...
